Sunheart, a maroon and gold Flameeater dragon

Progeny of Flames

Fire does not forgive. Neither does ice.

A War With No Front Line

The dragons came back organised. Cities fell first, then the surface itself. What's left of humanity lives underground, in bunkers ration by ration, sending Sweep teams out to scout, scan, and cut down whatever comes close enough to threaten what's left.

Some of those dragons breathe fire. Some breathe frost. All of them are still winning.

March 2015

A diary. A soldier's daughter. A war that hadn't reached her yet.

Dragons are real! Can you believe it, diary? Dragons aren't just stories. They really exist. And apparently are really mean.
Eren, age 10 — diary, March 2015

They also breathe fire. Some of them, at least. The small ones are apparently frosty.
Eren, age 10 — diary, March 2015

“A little,” [Dad] said. But that fear would keep him alert, and make sure he came back alive.
Eren, age 10 — diary, March 2015

Not with the dragons starting to become more organised. And deliberately targeting big cities.
Eren, age 12 — diary, November 2017

I want to be like him when I grow up.

She got her wish.

Team Gamma‑4

Four soldiers. One bunker. A war that doesn't end at the surface.

Eren Vale

“Old Man”

Blade Team Gamma-4

Joined the fight at fifteen. Once a girl who dreamed of dragons from the safety of a bunker bedroom, now the Blade who hunts them. She prefers short blades — and carries a decade of scars, and one promise she means to keep.

Dray Corvin

“Pretty Boy”

Scanner Team Gamma-4

Team Gamma-4's Scanner — the one who reads the ground before anyone else steps on it. Farsighted, though he keeps that quiet in the bunkers. Maintains his own equipment, and trusts no one else to.

Tala Navarro

“Mouse”

Scout Team Gamma-4

The youngest of Gamma-4, and its Scout — sent ahead, meant to stay back, rarely does. Would rather be tested against other Scouts than thrown into command's quarterly spectacle. Carries tranq bolts. Ammo is limited.

Rey Kader

“Cutter”

Blade Team Gamma-4

Gamma-4's second Blade, and the one who prefers long blades to short conversations. Joined at fourteen. Still here — which, in this war, is its own kind of achievement.
